They May Not Like Big Government But...

Take a look at this poll conducted earlier in the year by Gallup.

29 percent of Americans are satisfied with the size and power of government. No surprise there. But only 30 percent are satisfied with the size and power of corporations. Americans may not like Big Government but they don't like Big Corporations either. Take a look at how the numbers break down by political ideology.






















A couple of key numbers here...independents distrust corporations nearly as much as the government. And I was fairly shocked to see that Republicans are split on corporations. What do you suppose that means?

Well you can be mystified by viewing them as independent views, or you might consider that people see how big corporations align with big govt and they aren't too pleased with that.

I would like to read it that way, but I can hardly be sure. You could probably find a 30% segment that believes aliens are running the country.
